Unique Local Insights
Every school has its own story to tell. The context in which influencing and learning takes place drives the processes and procedures by which the school makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful to its vision. Fort Benning, a US Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) installation was established in 1918 and is named for Major General Henry L. Benning. Ft. Benning is a part of the tri-city area that is composed of Columbus, GA, Phenix City, AL, and Fort Benning, GA. E. A. White Elementary School is named in honor of Lieutenant Edward A. White, an officer in the Korean War. Lieutenant White was a graduate of the Infantry School at Ft. Benning, Georgia and was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his valiant battlefield conduct.

Analysis of Data and Implications 2009-2010
Terra Nova Multiple Assessments: The analysis of data from the Terra Nova Multiple Assessments over time indicates the need to address specific reading and math content standards in daily classroom instruction to raise overall student achievement. Disaggregated data by gender and ethnicity shows the need to continually enhance the learning environment for English Language Learners and male students. The data from the Terra Nova sub-skill of problem solving is no longer among the lowest areas of student achievement in grades 3, 4, and 5. There was a 3 to 7 percent increase in the sub-skill of math problem solving for grades 3-5. Achievement below the 75 percentile in the sub-skill of problem solving indicates a need for continual improvement. The data from the Terra Nova sub-skill of Evaluate and Extend Meaning over a three year period shows a decline in student achievement in grades 3, 4, and 5. Achievement on Terra Nova sub-skill in Evaluate and Extend Meaning reflects 75%. Analyze Text shows increase of an average for grades 3-5 of .833 from 2009-2010 Terra Nova Implications - Non-Hispanic students scored higher than Hispanic students in every subject on the Terra Nova test in grades 3-5. Teachers will use this data to continue to provide researched based instruction in order to meet the need of the Hispanic students. Teachers will continue school-wide collaboration focusing on the ELL and Hispanic students while collecting further data to indicate future trends. There is further need for faculty input and discussion of assessment data to better facilitate the needs of ELL students. Females scored higher in language arts/reading and math than the males on the Terra Nova test in grades 3-5. Teachers will actively engage males more often during instruction in language arts/reading and math. The Terra Nova scores in math problem solving declined from 2005-2008. Through the disaggregation of data the faculty chose math problem solving as an area of need. There was a 3 to 7 percent increase in the sub-skill of math problem solving for grades 3-5, 2009 -2010 Terra Nova. Achievement below the 75 percentile in the sub-skill of problem solving indicates a need for continual improvement. . The data indicates a need for continuous work in these areas. Both goals will continue for the school year 2010/2011. Developmental Reading Assessment: Students at Edward A. White Elementary School show growth in reading as assessed by the Developmental Reading Assessment. By the end of school year 2009, 70% or greater of students in grades K, 1, 2 and 3 performed At or Above grade level as measured by the DRA. At the end of the school year 2010, 83% of students in K, 1, 2, and 3 performed AT or Above grade level as measured by the DRA. Implications - Teachers will be provided staff development in the utilization of research based graphic organizers to include advanced organizers. The use and improvement of guided reading, Scholastic Achievement Manager, and higher order thinking/questioning techniques will assist in the improvement of Reading Comprehension. This provides data to support the
Edward A. White Elementary School Profile
Page 65
reading comprehension goal with the increase in Below or Partial categories. The faculty will also be provided staff development in the new system wide reading series, Reading Streets.
Environmental Scan: Research has shown that students need to have the following attributes in order to be effective in the workforce: critical thinkers, problem solvers, innovators, and effective communicators. They have also found that high school students who have been recently hired are lacking operational skills in critical thinking, problem solving, written communication, leadership, work ethic, and self-direction. Research also shows that the skills and content areas that will be growing in importance in the next five years will include: critical thinking, information technology, health and wellness, collaboration, innovation and personal financial responsibility. An analysis of data regarding what students should know and be able to do to be competitive in the 21st Century, points to the ability to read and understand text well and to be problem solvers in math and in social and work situations. According to 21st Century Skills the core subjects are as follows:
English, reading or language arts World languages Arts Mathematics Economics Science Geography History Government and Civics
Employers are looking for the application and knowledge of skills utilizing oral communication, collaboration, professional work ethic, written communication, critical thinking and problem solving from employees that have graduated from college as stated in a research survey.
Implications- The faculty and staff should incorporate 21st century skills and proficiencies into the school curriculum within the context of academic standards. The expectation for the students we teach today will be to use 21st century skills and reading comprehension skills to problem solve, to understand, and address global issues.

Terra Nova Multiple Assessments: The analysis of data from the Terra Nova Multiple Assessments over time indicates the need to address specific reading and math content standards in daily classroom instruction to raise overall student achievement. Disaggregated data by gender and ethnicity shows the need to continually enhance the learning environment for English Language Learners and male students. The data from the Terra Nova sub-skill of problem solving is no longer among the lowest areas of student achievement in grades 3, 4, and 5. There was a 1 to 8 percent increase in the sub-skill of math problem solving for grades 3-5. However fourth grade growth of 1% indicates a continued need of focus. Achievement below the 75 percentile in the sub-skill of problem solving indicates a need for continual improvement. The data from the Terra Nova sub-skill of Evaluate and Extend Meaning over a three year period shows steady progress in student achievement in grades 3, 4, and 5. Analyze Text shows increase of an average for grades 3-5 of .23 from 2012-2013 Terra Nova Implications - Non-Hispanic students scored higher than Hispanic students in every subject on the Terra Nova test in grades 3-5. Teachers will use this data to continue to provide researched based instruction in order to meet the need of the Hispanic students. Teachers will continue school-wide collaboration focusing on the ELL and Hispanic students while collecting further data to indicate future trends. There is further need for faculty input and discussion of assessment data to better facilitate the needs of ELL students. Third grade males outscored females in reading and language arts, while at fourth grade females outscored males. At fifth grade all students scored at the same level. Teachers will actively engage subgroups more often during instruction of the curriculum. The Terra Nova scores in math problem solving show growth for third and fifth grade and remained the same for the fourth grade from 2008-2013. Through the disaggregation of data the faculty chose math problem solving as an area of need. Achievement below the 25 percentile in the sub-skill of problem solving indicates a need for continual improvement in third and fourth grades. The data indicates a need for continuous work in these areas. Both goals will continue for the school year 2013 - 2014. Benchmark Assessment System (BAS) Students at Edward A. White Elementary School show growth in reading as assessed by the Benchmark Assessment System (BAS). By the end of school year 2009, 70% or greater of students in grades K, 1, 2 and 3 performed At or Above grade level as measured by the Developmental Reading Assessment. At the end of the school year 2013, 80% of students in K, 1, 2, and 3 performed AT or Above grade level as measured by the BAS.

Support and Enrichment Programs
A vital part of E. A. White is the "spirit" of the school. The faculty is responsive and
compassionate thus creating a dynamic school. Many parents and visitors have commented on how everyone at school is committed to do whatever it takes to ensure that all children succeed. A variety of activities can be found at E. A. White! The student-led morning announcements kick off each day and remind us of upcoming events, including Red Ribbon Week, Scholastic Book Fairs, Field day, Field Trips, Robotics Competitions, and Chorus Concerts. Our reading incentive program encourages all students to become “REEL READERS”, where points earned are redeemed for an end of year celebration with popcorn and a movie at the local post theater. As visitors and parents walk through our school, they may see students engaged in the outdoor classroom, or working in the garden. More often than not, visitors entering our school leave with the vivid impression of the columns which display patriotic and academic art down our sidewalk. We still hold true to the ideal neighborhood school where faculty, parents, students, and stakeholders mean community.
The following programs and services are provided, as indicated for our students:
Special Education: 5%
Speech and Language: 5%
Gifted Education: 10%
English as a Second Language: 10%
The DoDEA English as a Second Language Program (ESL) provides service for students to increase English language skills so their academic performance is equivalent to native English-speaking students of the same age and grade level. The focus is to provide the educational opportunities that will enable the English Language Learner (ELL) to be an independent learner, successful in the classroom, and a productive member of society. Most of the ESL students at E. A. White School are children of foreign officers in WHINSEC. Non-English speaking students of other military sponsors are also serviced by this program. The percentage of ESL students at White School is approximately 16%.

Appendix B: Environmental Scan The staff at Edward A. White Elementary School conducted a review of current research to determine the needs of students in the 21st Century. The research supporting instructional focus and strategies based upon data collected on the student achievement of students at Edward A. White Elementary School is summarized below.
Reading Classroom Instruction That Works, Marzano, Pickering & Pollick, 2007. The strategy of using advanced organizers helps all students retrieve what they already know about a topic. Putting Reading First: The Research Building blocks for Teaching Children to Read Research over 30 years has shown that instruction and comprehension can help students understand what they read and communicate with others about what they read. Graphic organizers help students focus on concepts and how they are related to other concepts. P21 Strategic Council Members, 21st Century Skills: Learning for Life in Our Times - An analysis of data regarding what students should know and be able to do to be competitive in the 21st Century, points to the ability to read and understand text well and to be problem solvers in math and in social and work situations. According to 21st Century Skills these core subjects are included: •English, reading or language arts •World languages •Arts •Mathematics
Math Roads to Reasoning- The development of reasoning power is a primary objective of elementary mathematics. Problem solving, which is the basis for developing reasoning power, has been at the forefront of the mathematics curriculum for many years. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics’ Principles and Standards, released in 2000, continue to emphasize both of these areas.
Edward A. White Elementary School Profile

P21 Strategic Council Members, 21st Century Skills: Learning for Life in Our Times - Research has shown that students need to have the following attributes in order to be effective in the workforce: critical thinkers, problem solvers, innovators, and effective communicators. They have also found that high school students who have been recently hired are lacking operational skills in critical thinking, problem solving, written communication, leadership, work ethics, and self-direction. National Council of Teachers of Math Standards, Students need to develop a range of strategies for problem solving, such as using diagrams, looking for patterns, or using Read Alouds. These strategies need to become embedded across the curriculum for optimal student learning. Students need to be capable of self-monitoring in order to adjust the strategies they are using as they solve a problem. Susan O’Connell, Introduction to Problem Solving – Strategies for the Elementary Math Classroom – In order to be effective mathematicians, students need to develop understanding of critical math content. They need to understand numbers and operations, algebra, measurement, geometry, data analysis, and probability. Students must learn to problem solve, communicate their ideas, reason through math situations, prove their conjectures, make connections between and among math concepts, and represent their mathematical thinking.
